So after going through my stash of  Whimsy stamps I decided on this super cute 'Over the Moon' stamp set. He loves Sci-fi, Star Trek and Star Wars so I thought these would make a perfect card for him. Here i

For my first card I used the adorable  Winter Wonderland clear stamp set  illustrated by Krista Heij-Barber and the  Slimline Marquee die . I inked the background using Distress Oxide Inks in different blue tones and sprinkled on water and some white acrylic paint for a snow effect. The snowflakes and sentiment in the middle window were stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with white embossing powder.    I used several different media to color my images therefore I stamped the images with a hybrid ink onto white mixed media paper. To color the snowmen I used  T

Hello Crafters & Happy Hump-Day! I have a Halloween card to share with you today. I combined the super cute Bat Balloon  rubber stamp, Tree Silhouette rubber stamp and the  Halloween Creatures Stencil  on my card. I sponged the background with Distress Oxide inks and stamped the  Tree Silhouette  using Versafine Clair Morning Mist. I then stenciled the flock of bats with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. The  Bat Balloon  stamp was stamped with Memento Tuxedo black onto Hammermill 100lb Digital Copy Cover Stock, colored with Copics and cut out. I adhered the image to the background using foam tape for more dimension. A few Sequins and a very thin paper strip as balloon string complete this fun Halloween card. The purple glitter paper I used as a layer is from an older PaperDoor kit.   Here are all the products form the Whimsy store I used:                                                                    Thanks for visiting!

Happy TGIF! Todays card showcases an older Whimsy Stamps image from the Krista Heij -Barber Collection - Ice Cream Truck , as well as a sentiment from the Beaucoup Bouquet set. I stamped the image onto kraft cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it using Copics. The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. To create the distressed looking background I stamped the  Burlap Background  stamp with Vermark ink onto karft cardstock. Using Versamark ink only (without adding embossing powder and heat embossing) creates a soft watermark effect. The gorgeous pink glitter paper I used as a layer was from an older PaperDoor kit I've received. To embellish the card I added Glossy Accents, Stickles Stardust and Sprinkled Sugar glitter glues and NUVO Crystal Drops White Blizzard to some of the cards elements. I also adhered some sequins, enamel dot and some Shaker Fun Confetti.   Here are the Whimsy products I used: (Affiliated links used a
